Don't watch this movie: time wasting danger. Dear

**Don't watch this movie: time wasting danger.** Dear reader, I start with a challenge: think about sequels to great movies. There's no shortage of great and valorous titles, which otherwise contradict the general idea that sequels are flawed films and doomed to failure, right? But there is also the other side of the coin, and a long list of names that gave strength to this installed belief. This movie is, indeed, an excellent candidate for a spot on the disgraceful list of the worst sequels ever released! Well, “Highlander” was a film that, despite the criticisms and weaknesses (I didn't spare myself to list them in the review I wrote for it), worked well and gave the audience pure fun and entertainment. This film, however, completely ignores it, contradicts the entire story of the first film and gives us... an hour and a half of rubbish that involves things as absurd as a threat of extinction due to the disappearance of the ozone layer and the return of characters who actually died in the first film, because they came from another dimension conveniently created for that purpose! Fans of the first film rightfully booed it, condemning it to oblivion. I believe that everyone involved, from the director to the actors, prefers to ignore this humiliation that they subject themselves for a good pack of dollars. Sean Connery, for example, seems to be parodying himself, and Christopher Lambert seems contrived and unbelievable in his old age outfit. Although the list of actors includes other relatively respectable names, there isn't a single actor here that could be worth the painful effort of seeing the film... and believe me, I saw it in its entirety and felt I would have made better use of my time watching the Teletubbies.

Highlander in a dark atmosphere on the future, far away to be bad!!

Yesterday night I have revisited this sequel of Highlander, in a future world at 2027 a shield over the planet built by Dr. Neyman and Macleod in 1999 is no longer necessary, the ozone layer already restore itself during last twenty nine years, in an dreadful orange atmosphere over the planet Earth needs a new outlook, our hero in getting older when a rebel gang attacks the complex in order to destroy the worthless shield to give life to the Earth, how I've never query any rating at IMDB before watch a movie, today l saw mere 4.3 on an average sequel, I've wondering why so many reviews 1 out 10, this rating is for worst movies only, otherwise they voted by hate, we have the finest and good moods Ramirez (Connery), also one of greatest villains in the cinema history of all time Michael Ironside as the wicked Katana and the sexy Virginia Madsen as Louise the rebel's leader, it really had some mismatches as all sequels, thus I'll keep with my feelings, even knowing that I'll be bombed here with negatives votes, I state Highlander II fair away to be bad!!
